Taif
Taif is a city in Saudi Arabia. It is in the mountains near Mecca and is used as the summer capital, letting the royal family get out of the much hotter Riyadh.
Travel to Taif & Visa Requirements
From Jeddah, take the highway toward Mecca and turn off onto the "Christian Bypass" just before the holy city. This leads to an interesting road of switchbacks up an escarpment and on to Taif.
